Tartar With 1,193 Officers
and Men Data: ned at
Hong Kong.
Washiegtoa, Sept. J3 -The war
department h&s been informed that the
steampship Tartar which is retare ID g
to tbe United States from Manila with
a large camber of soldiers on board,
has been detained at Haag Koog by the
local authorities because she is over?
loaded.
Secretary Root had a o on fere noe with
the president this afternooa regardiog
;be matter.
Wheo he retorced to the war depart?
ment he gave oct the following two
cable messages as ?in cffijial statement
of the case.
Hong Kong, Sept. ll, 1899.
Corbin, Washington :
British authorities refuse to olear
,Tartar, because overcrowded, authorize
eight twenty-four Mitcalf.
Manila, Sept. 13.
Adj a ti. ni General, Washington :
The Tartar was sent to Hong Kong
tc dock, as requested by Maj. Long, no
dook being large erong h a? Nagaasaki.
She has oapaoity for 1,145 men and
111 oabin passengers. She took back
1,142 men and 61 cabin passengers
Oe ber trip from San Francisco she
carried comfortably 1,145 mea and 55
eabin passengers. Otis.
? private cable message from Hoog
Kong says that on complaint made by
the 400 discharged regulars on board
the Tartar of overcrowding clearance
was refused The Twentieth Kansas
volunteer infantry with Gen. F a ns ton
Ss aboard >:he Tartar, but is understood
that the volunteers make no complaint
and are anxious to have clearance
granted the ship in order that they may
proceed homeward.
The Tartar is a British ship She
belongs to the Canadian Pacific Steam?
ship Company plying between British
Columbia and Australia. She was
chartered by the quartermaster's
department of the United States army
to carry United States troops but it is
not believed here that this oharter
could in any respect affect her nation?
ality. She could cease to be a British
ship and become entitled to Amerioan
registry ooly by act of congress.
It was stated at the war department
that the Tartar matter had been referred
to Ambassador Choata, which makes ao
international question out of it. The
contention of the war department is
that notwithstanding the Tartar flies
the British fhg, being chartered by the
United Scares government, the assump?
tion cf British authority over ber is
unauthorized
Proper Accommodations on
the Vessel.
Washington, Sept. 14-Clearance
papers have been aiiowed the Tartar
at Hong Kong. It is expected that
she will proceed to the United States
at once The information that clear?
ance bas been allowed came in a
dispatch to Adjutant General Corbin
this morning from Col. Metcalfe,
commanding the Twentieth Kansas
and the troops aboard tbe transport
Another dispatch from Col Met?
calfe., in reply to one sent yesterday,
states that the Tartar was no more
overcrowded and that the food was
as good as on other transports Ieav
ing Manila He said that the trou?
ble arose among the discharged reg
jar soldiers who were returning home
oe board the ship
The incident is now regarded as
clo"sed. lt is learned at the state
partment that the representations
made to Mr Chaote, our ambassador
at Loudon, on this subject were not
in the nature of a protest The au
thorities here had convinced them
selves that they had no right to claim
exemption for the Tartar from the
operation of British law in a British
port, because the nationality of the
ship had not been changed to Ameri?
can by th* mere fact that she had
been chartered for a certain specific
duty by cur officers But the basie
of the application to the British gov?
ernment was the fact that the ship
had bef?n altered in ber interior ar?
rangements since her original inspec
tina, and the issue of the permit tc
carry passengers, with the result thal
she is now fully in accord with thf
reguirements of tue British law ever
for the 1,200 aud odd troops cr
board It is said at the state depart
ment that the Hong Kong authoritiei
must also heve taken thid view anc
have acted voluntarily in releasing
the ship, for there was not timi
before that act to have heard fron

Another Railroad to Camden
Catawba Water Power to be
on the Line's Course.
It is ascertained from an unquestion?
able source that the rumors connecting
?be Seaboard Air Line and the Southern
with the purchase of the Carolina and
Northwestern are unfounded in fact,
and that the new owners of tue road are
not connected with either of tbese
systems. They are men of ample
means who have a definite plan of
development to oarry out.
They propose to change the road to
standard guage and are already making
preparations to that end. They will
extend it from Lenoir, N. C., its pres?
ent terminus, to Ellizabethton, Tenn.,
a point about 15 miles south of Bristol,
with which point it is already connected
by rail. This extension will pass
through extensive coal and iron proper?
ties. It is also intended to
extend the line south from Ches?
ter a distance of about fifty
miles to Camden, where connection
will be made with the three leading
railroad systems of this section. ?
road from Chester to Camden will pass
by the great water power on the Cataw?
ba river.
The main purpose of the capitalists
behind the project is to supply this
section with coal from the extensive
Tennessee fields. This they will be
abie to do at rates probably below all
rivalry from other sources, and as
cheap coal will be a blessing to South
Carolina it follows that this develop?
ment will be of great value and
importance to the State. A corps of
surveyors is about to be put in the field
to ron the Hoe between Chester and
Camden. At Camden the competition
between the Seaboard, Southern and
Atlantic Coast Lice systems is counted
on to furnish ample distributive facili?
ties.-The State, Sept. 14.

A GREAT RAILROAD.
Toe Railway Age io a leading
article calls attention to the remarka?
ble growth of the Southern Railway
ano the rapid development of the
large section of couotry through
which it rene and io which it is such
an important factor.
Several years ago the Southern
Railway company established a land
and mineral bureau which bas been
greatly instrumental in promoting the
agricultural and industrial resources
of the south. The Southern Railway
has grown from a mileage of 4,130 in
1895 to a mileage of 5,959 in 1899.
It operates extensively in the states
of Virginia, North Caroliua, South
Caroliua, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennesse and Kentucky.
With the increase of mileage there
has been a remarkable increase of
gross earnings per mile These have
grown from $4,135 io 1895 to $4,
764 io 1899, and net earnings from
$1,221 to $1,506 per mile. The ag
gregate of earnings io the past year
was over $25,000,000, while the bal?
ance available for dividends was $2,
094,520, equivalent to 3-J per cent,
on the preferred stock.
The Railway Age pays a high trib
ute to the ability, enterprise and skill
of the management under which the
Southern Railway has made its re
markable advance, and properly
classes it among the greatest of
American railway systems.
Big Demand for Tobacco
The American Agriculturist says
there is a corner in tbe tobacco
market created not by a combina?
tion of growers or manufacturiers,
but by the excess of the demand over
the supply Prices have been higher
on the domestic leaf than for a long
series of years Havana seed tobac?
co grown in New England has been
sold as high as 50 cents a pound.
Tbe partial failure of the Cuban crop
compelled American smokers to
accustom themselves to the domestic
leaf, and it is thought that the home
grown article may remain in favor
A little trouble is brewing: between
the American Tobacco Trust and
American growers of tobacco. The
t ust is making an effort to get the
raw material grown in Cuba admitted
free, while the duties are maintained
on manufactured tobacco Thia
would be in the intertest of American
industry if their were nob domestic
growers o? tobacco But as tobacco
is grown in a good many 6tates, and
might with a little scientific applica?
tion of fertilizers be grown in ali the
states, there is a decided protest

The Transvaal Trouble.
NOTHING ALARMING IN
FRIDAY'S DEVELOP?
MENTS.
Londoo, Sept. 15 -A Blue book
containing toe last Transvaal dispatch
of the secretary of state for the oolooies..
Mr Chamberlain, relating to the mat?
ters which led up to the dispatch being
sent, was issued today. The text of
Mr. Chamberlain's note is identical
with the dispatch as cabled to the
Associated Prees September 13. The
important feature revealed is a telegram
from the British high commissioner, Sir
Alfred Milner, dated Aug. 31, referring
to the commercial distress and saying :
"I am receiving representations from
many quarters to urge the imperial
government to terminate the suspense.
British South Africa is prepared for
extreme measures and is ready to
surfer much more io order to see the
vindication of British authority. It is
the prolongation of the negotiations,
endless and indecisive, that is dreaded.
I fear seriously that there will be a
strong reaction of feeling rgainst the
policy of the imperial government if
matters drag."
The Blue book throws no new light
on the situation as it is today, exoept to
show that the commissioner's patience
has reached the ebbing point.
A published interview with President
Kruger, said to have taken place at
Pretoria yesterday, is far more import
ant. He is quoted as saying : "I have
tried ail along to place the aliens io the
Transvaal on the same footing politi?
cally as the burghers Mr. Chamber?
lain says I have not kept my promises.
This." thundered President Kruger,
..I deny."
Continuing, President Kruger is ?
reported to have added : "The aliens of
tbe Transvaal have the same commercial
rights, as the burghers and have
always enjoyed them without interfer?
ence. I wanted to let them have the
same political rights but they wocid not
avail themselves of this. Roughly,
there are mere than 50,000 aliens who
have been here more than seven years
and have registered, thus being eligible
to the franchise. Yet of the British
subjects who have availed themselves
of it the chief part have been Afrikan?
ders and not English born. This
shows that the British in the Transvaal
do not w&nt the franchise.
"Io my opinion there is no caa9e
whatever for war. Everything could
be settled by arbitration.v
A second edition of the London
Times today prints a special dispatch
from. New Castle, Natal, dated Sept
15, which bears out the British high
commissioner's statement, as it says
the Outlanders7 counoil bas transmitted
to the imperial government what practi
cally amounts to a protest against fur?
ther delav
The Times correspondent adds :
"There is nothing to confirm the re
ports that the Boers will concede Mr.
Chamberlain's demands. Oo the con?
trary, it is stated that 3,000 men will
be dispatched to the border immediately
after the Transvaal's reply is sent
Everything points to the prospect of an
early conflict."
PLANT WHEAT.
A farmer writing to- The Macon
Telegraph tells how any farmer can
make wheat for home consumption, and
why be should make it. He says : An
ordinary farmer can spare two acres of
land ; let him take this land, turn it
well with a plow in September, and
about three or four weeks later pu; ten
bushels of cotton seed broadcast, also
broadoasc two hundred pounds of phos?
phate, sow his wheat crop on this land
with a turning plow shallow, all
ploughing to bc done well, insuring the
ground to be weil broken. This will
make about fifteen bushels of wheat
per acre. Two acres tried in this way
wiii furnish about six barrels of flour at
a cost of about five doilars. To buy
this fljur in the market would cost
about thirty dollars.
M. B. Peavey, Byriimville, Ga , writes :
